Trendell and Hernon Honored for Academic/Athletic Excellence


Each May, the Hockomock League celebrates educational athletics by honoring a male and female graduating senior from each of our 12 schools.  These 24 graduating seniors represent the best from their collective schools when it comes to excelling both in the classroom and on the playing field.

Ordinarily, our league's 12 principals and ADs host a banquet at Lake Pearl in Wrentham where the 24 amazing student athletes and their parents convene to be celebrated and honored. Due to Covid-19, this event will not be held for the 2nd year in a row. It is a shame as it is always a highlight of the athletic year.

Although we won't be meeting to celebrate these two high achieving Bulldogs, our Canton recipients deserve our recognition and praise.  Canton's recipients of this year's Scholar-Athlete awards are Stephanie Trendell and Jack Hernon. They both value and understand the responsible balance between academics and athletics and, as a result have achieved great heights in both.

Stephanie Trendell
 has been a standout at CHS for the past four years in both the Volleyball program and the Softball program.  She played a major role in the Bulldogs winning their first-ever State Championship in Volleyball in 2019.  She has been a four-year varsity player in Softball where she is currently serving as a captain.  She is heading off to Emerson College in Boston in the fall where she will continue her softball career as well as pursuing a journalism major. 
Jack Hernon


Jack Hernon has been a huge member of our Cross Country, Indoor Track and Track & Field teams since walking into the doors of CHS four years ago. He has earned an incredible 12 varsity letters (including one in Swimming his senior year) over his time wearing the green and white.  He has also served as captain of XC, Indoor and Track & Field.  He has been a major contributor to all of his teams but is the epitome of a team-first teammate. He is heading to West Point in the fall. 

CHS is proud of both of these shining examples of student athlete excellence, as well as the hundreds of other Bulldogs who also commit fully to excelling in the classroom and in the athletic arena.  Stephanie and Jack were two of many deserving Bulldogs in these areas of excellence.

Thank you and Congratulations to Stephanie Trendell and Jack Hernon- 2021 Hockomock League Scholar Athlete Award winners.
